He Thinks He's the Best - J.H

Chapter 54

Roxy pov

It didn't take long for Leela to start screaming in pain as the hot metal brushed her skin. She had lost her grip in the side of the counter, and would've fallen backwards and hit her head had Jaden not caught her.

I quickly got up and walked over to him. I took Leela from his arms and carried her over to where the sink was. I placed her on the counter next to it and quickly examined her arm. It was a little burn and wouldn't do much damage considering it had only broken the first two layers of skin. A 2nd degree burn will only ever blister and swell a little.

"You'll be alright Peanut." I smiled as I turned on the cold tap and held her arm underneath it.

"It hurts." She whimpered as I held her arm still.

"I know bub. It will hurt for a little while, but soon you'll be good as new." I explained as she started to play with my hair with her free hand.

I held her arm there for around ten minutes while Jaden finished boiling the pasta.

Once ten minutes was done, I took her and out from under the water, lightly patted it dry, and then put some neosporin over it, and covered it with a bandaid.

"There we go Peanut, good as new, and just in time for dinner." I smiled as I lifted her off the counter and onto the floor.

"Thank you doctor Ro Ro." She beamed. My smile faltered a second, but it quickly returned so she didn't ask questions.

"You're welcome Peanut. Go to daddy and go get your dinner." I laughed slightly as she went skipping off to Jaden.

We ate the food, and Leela decided she was going to help me load the dishwasher. Which was a lot more stressful then it should have been. She decided that instead of plates going on the bottom shelf where they would usually go, she was going to try and fit them on the tray that the cutlery goes onto. Needless to say, things had to be rearranged once she was done.

She trailed into the living room after she decided she was finished with helping. I quickly fixed what she had done and followed her out.

"Ro Ro, are you watching the movie with us?" Leela asked from her space next to Jaden.

"Is it Frozen or Tangled?" I asked as I leant against the doorframe.

"No. Daddy's being a fun sponge and said we couldn't watch it tonight." I laughed at her calling Jaden a fun sponge and walked over.

"That's so rude." Jaden said acting fake offended.

"Suck it up buttercup." She sassed as I sat next to her.

"This is your doing." He accused as he pointed to me.

"I have no clue what you are talking about my dear." I laughed as I ruffled his hair.

"Of course you don't." He mumbled as he lifted his feet up to rest on the coffee table.

"Can we watch Spider-Man please?" Leela asked Jaden as he picked up the controller.

"Are you sick baby? You never request to watch anything other than Tangled or Frozen." He laughed as he jokingly felt her head.

"I heard Ro Ro talking about how hot the guy who played him was." She shrugged as he loaded it up.

"What?" I asked in shock, whereas Jaden asked the same question, but it came out as a laugh due to how random her statement was.

"Okay, in my defence if I hadn't had have said that, then Cassie would have spent the whole day convincing me otherwise." I defended as Jaden raised his eyebrow at me, not believing me. "Hey, I never said you had to believe me." I shrugged as he rolled his eyes playfully and turned his head to watch the movie.

Throughout the movie, Leela had changed her position several times, but the one she decided to stick with was the one she was in now. She had her head rested on my thighs, and he legs were stretched across Jaden's legs as he held them protectively. I was just running my fingers through her hair as we watched.

The movie had finished about five minutes ago and Leela was getting tired.

"Alright little miss." I said as I lightly tapped her head to gain her attention. "You should probably go up and get ready for bed since you're so tired." I suggested as she sat up off of my lap.

"Okay mommy." She said. "I mean Ro Ro." She quickly corrected herself. "I'm sorry." She whimpered as she ran off.

Jaden quickly followed her out of the room after he and I exchanged a short glance. I stood up and turned the tv off and then went into the kitchen to get a glass of water and to let the dogs out back.

I quickly followed her out of the room. I found it adorable that she called Roxy her mom, and I smiled for a second, before I realised that she thought she made a mistake and was going to get in trouble for it.

When I walked into her bedroom she was curled up on her bed holding a little teddy my mom got for her when she was born. She was crying and sniffling.

"Hey princess. What's wrong?" I asked as I walked over to her.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." She cried as she clung onto me.

"It's okay baby." I said softly as I rubbed my hand up and down her back.

"Why don't I have a mommy?" She asked me as she sniffled a little bit.

"Your mommy went up to see god when you were a little baby. Now she lives in the sky." I tried to explain.

"So why can't Ro Ro be my mommy?"

That's a valid question. Roxy is basically her mother. She's practically raised her, even before when she wanted strangle me with my own intestines, she was always like Leela's mother figure. I've always thought of her as Leela's parental figure and I have to remind myself that she legally isn't.

But I could change that.

"Do you want Ro Ro to be your mommy?" I asked her.

"I love Ro Ro." She said as she nodded against me.

"Alright baby. Why don't you go get your pyjamas on and I'll lay with you until you fall asleep?"

"Okay." She mumbled as she stood up and walked to her pyjama draw.

She quickly changed into her bunny pyjamas and put her dirty clothes in the laundry basket in her room. She then walked back over to the bed and got under her covers. She moved so she could rest her head against my stomach.

"Night night daddy." She said as she kissed my stomach.

"Goodnight princess." I whispered as I kissed her head, and waited for her to fall asleep.
